The United States has officially extended invitations for holding the international peace conference on November 27 in the city of Annapolis.

The US did not wait till efforts exerted to reach a joint Palestinian - Israeli document are over in order to be tackled by the Annapolis three-day meeting.

It seems that the US administration is confident that this joint document would be reached before the holding of the conference.

The problem is that Arabs and Palestinians have no further concessions to make as seemingly sought-by the United States in the peace conference, except for the card of normalization.

So, could the US administration which would leave the White House in just a year time be able to get Israeli concessions for the good of peace in the region.
